Eddie Bravo also thinks the moon landing was staged and DMT induced visions of fractal god-minds are actual saucer people who actually talk to him.

I, as a person who thinks drugs are super, think the power duo of joe and eddie gets into crazytown sometimes.

Some of the most out-there stuff I’ve ever heard was from DMT folks. I thought Bravo just smoked a lot of reefer, though.

Well the majority of wang chun guys flop on their arses when hit so it’s a fair statement.

On the actual substance of the question, Bravo mentions training some slap-happy kung-fu variant before starting BJJ in his book. He does not think highly of it, in retrospect.

15

If I recall on one of the podcasts or random youtube videos he says he uses some wing chung hand trapping to make life difficult for people going for hooks/chokes etc. I think the point was more “don’t lay there and just let people get their grips/hooks”. It wasn’t a “wing chung is awesome and I still trains it” endorsement.

I don’t remember where this was so you’ll have to forgive my lack of source.

  • Most hooks are delivered in closer proximity compared to jabs and crosses — as such often don't target the centreline. Attempting to trap a hook seems like a whole lot of work for little payoff. You're better off doing what most fighters do. Either use footwork to get out of the killzone, or go for a clutch / takedown.

    Looking at Eddie Bravo’s reputation in BJJ, it seems inconceivable that he would recommend such a thing. Count me skeptical.[/QUOTE]

    You’re using the definition of hooks from boxing, it means something completely different in grappling: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hooks_(grappling)

    Got it. Well, I have no expertise in this matter, so I’ll defer to others who know more than me.

    Indeed, I meant underhooks/overhooks in grappling, not hook punches. My bad on the lack of clarity.

    Joe Rogan smokes a shitload of DMT. EB has mentioned DMT “experiences” he “might talk about in the future”

    DMT rocks your socks off, and is pretty cool as far as I am concerned, but it directly stimulates the part of your brain that’s responsible for mystic/dissonant experiences. It’s very easy to think you’re had reality revealed rather than re-ordered or obscured.
